(Twenty) Three Things…

alternateorg on October 8, 2002

1) I’m officially 23 today. I have the pangs of age more than I ever have in the past. Why? Because for the big, parentally-funded birthday present, I asked for a mattress. Not a DVD. Not an XBox. Not even a hooker. I asked for something painfully useful, and thusly, somewhat mature. Oh well. The older I get, the sooner I can become Crotchety(tm)!

2) Go see Miyazaki’s “new” film Spirited Away. Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are international treasures. Their animation is rivaled only by Pixar, and the human race is better for having them. Spirited Away is an odd film. Like free jazz, or 7/4 time, many can appreciate, but few will actually like. Wipe Princess Mononoke and all of their previous work from your mind before entering. It is a very amazing, and very Japanese film.

3) On November 17th, at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, comedy Ragnarok shall commence. The Clash of the Titans features Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Janeane Garafalo, Mr. Show featuring Bob and David, and the Kids in the Hall. I have my tickets. This is a once in a blue moon, for-charity event. Good stuff.

Life is grand.

    you’re mixing your mythology: ragnarok is norse and the titans are greek! 🙂

    hehe. blame it on age. or blame it on Final Fantasy’s very liberal use of mythological source material.
